Nestled in the heart of Montreal, Zoëlle is the ideal spot for a 5 à 7, pre- and post-hockey game gatherings, or private events, providing an outstanding dining experience on every occasion.
Reviews portray Zoelle as a standout dining destination with a stunning setting and a fusion concept that blends Mediterranean and Japanese influences. Service is repeatedly praised for attentiveness, warmth, and expert recommendations across the menu, with several mentions of knowledgeable staff guiding choices and making celebrations feel special. The food earns high marks for freshness and presentation, from sushi and sashimi to tartares, octopus, lamb meatballs, braised beef, and a dessert strong point, while cocktails like the passion fruit martini and espresso martini are often highlighted favorites. The atmosphere is described as elegant yet inviting, with some noting a lively vibe and others appreciating a calmer, refined dining room, though a few reviews call value into question and note occasional slower pacing or menu gaps during peak times. Practical perks such as nearby valet parking, a newer lunch option, and a well stocked bar are often mentioned, and overall Zoelle is seen as a memorable and repeatable experience worth returning to for special occasions, dates, or group dinners.

Bel accueil, très beau décor, belle vibe musicale avec un DJ juste bien dosé afin de nous permettre de discuter. Menu surprenant où on retrouve des influences méditerranéennes & grecques ainsi qu'un bar à sushis. Les serveurs nous informent bien de l'histoire du restaurant & du parcours de son propriétaire crétois. Belle attention du propriétaire qui prends la peine de se présenter à ses clients.

A flawless dining experience worth every star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
From the time your hands touch the door, the beautiful, smiling, warm positive energy from the hostess sets the stage for what becomes one of the most delicious culinary experiences from start to finish.
Service: Attentive without being intrusive - the staff anticipated needs before I even voiced them. The owner, Alex, was on the floor personally ensuring every guest was properly attended to, & the gentlemen working the floor carried themselves with class, making the entire experience feel both welcoming & refined. Our waiter, Illyan, was exceptionally knowledgeable & absolutely spot?on with his food & wine recommendations, elevating the entire dining journey.
Food: We experienced culinary perfection with 10?star sushi - each piece a work of art, balancing freshness, precision, & flavour in a way that left us speechless. Every dish was a masterpiece, bold yet harmonious, with presentation rivaling fine art.
Ambiance: Lighting, music, & décor created a sensory experience that elevated the meal into something unforgettable.
Value: For the quality delivered, the price felt more like an investment in joy than a bill.
I rarely give perfect scores, but this restaurant deserves it. A true 10/10 - I'll be recommending it to everyone I know & returning .

Not sure how to feel about this restaurant. We were seated by the door, & the atmosphere there really sucked. The decor is not great. There were only 4 tables in the entire restaurant, & the service was very very slow (Saturday night 6:30 pm habs game). However our waiter was very nice(blonde tall guy). The food was decent (7/10). I would give it another chance. Giving 4 stars to not be too harsh on this new place but I think 4 stars is a lot.
Amazing new restaurant! Everything was perfect! Beautiful decor... great acoustic.. you can hear yourself talking for a change..professional..impeccable & friendly service & the food was fabulous! Nice combo Mediterranean & Japanese 👍 The grilled octopus ... grilled shrimps.. aubergine parmagiana & the desserts were to die for.
A must try!

A highlight of the evening was when the chef personally came to our table to discuss our food sensitivities. This thoughtful gesture not only demonstrated their commitment to customer care but also added a personal touch that is all too rare in dining today. The chef took the time to explain the menu options, suggesting delicious alternatives that catered perfectly to our needs.
Throughout the meal, the service remained impeccable, with staff checking in to ensure everything was to our liking without being intrusive.

This was definitely a top dining experience! I highly recommend. The moment you walk through the door you notice the attention to the decor, the atmosphere & the dedication of the staff. Shout out to the Chef Sydney for the warm welcome. I've been privileged to enjoy his food before. This time he really outdid himself. I would give 6 stars if I could!
Ce restaurant ne rémunère pas ses prestataires. Il y a plus d'un an, mon entreprise de ménage familiale leur a fait un grand ménage pendant 3 jours. Ils n'ont jamais payé la facture. Notre entreprise s'appelle PROPRETE PARFAIT INC, et pendant 6 ans nous avons été en charge du nettoyage de l'ancien restaurant BIERMARKET, et nous n'avons jamais eu de problèmes avec BIERMARK
Classy restaurant with great lighting & decor. I got great service by Roxanne at the bar & Steve the owner makes sure everything is just right. The official launch will be in the next 2 weeks but so far wow. Spicy tuna rolls are to die for, & the wine selection is excellent. For a restaurant of this caliber it's affordable. I highly recommend

Lors de ma visite au Restaurant Zoelle avec ma famille, j'ai vécu une expérience absolument inoubliable. Les nigiri sont tout simplement incroyables, probablement les meilleurs que j'ai mangés de ma vie : une explosion de saveurs & une fraîcheur irréprochable. En plus de cela, les cocktails sont à tomber par terre - parfaitement équilibrés & pleins de créativité. J'ai également opté pour une dorade entière grillée, & je dois dire que c'était un pur délice. La chair était fondante, parfaitement assaisonnée, & cuite à la perfection. Le décor du restaurant est chic & très élégant, offrant une ambiance sophistiquée tout en restant accueillante. La musique, quant à elle, ajoute une touche vibrante & contribue à l'atmosphère raffinée. Le service a été exceptionnel du début à la fin : attentif, chaleureux & professionnel. Je recommande ce restaurant à tout le monde, que ce soit pour un dîner en famille, entre amis, ou même un événement spécial. Une véritable perle à découvrir sans hésiter!

Absolutely blown away by this new spot! The food is incredible-sashimi prepared right in front of me was unbelievably fresh. The decor is gorgeous, creating the perfect vibe for a night out. Don't even get me started on the drinks-they were just as amazing. Can't wait to come back!
